Not really much of a response from CNNIC here. Notice how they spin this situation as Google taking away the rights of others? Google isn't the bad guy here, they're doing the reasonable thing and CNNIC have a lot of explaining to do...
Very true said. Gaining security is always in favor of public and organizations. Google is a authority, and many people take its statement seriously rather than others. And this approach may really take internet to safe side at some point. Nowadays ssl can be found at no price. Letsencrypt is going to provide at free of cost and vendors (like ssl.com and cheapsslshop.com ) selling such certs from nominal fee of $4 - $5 per year. Infact Government organization should shake hand with Google and motivate people to adopt such security asap.
